I don't agree with the decision. They broke the laws, out they go. Let their kids stay but not the parents.

Laws need to be changed with payment to plastic surgery here. Paying all cash at once should be forbidden!!

From the sounds of it - the area - my guess would be Brazilian or Peruvians. But we all look alike so who knows!

160 cm and 175 cm? Huge difference there.

Any chance that the officers were freaked out about the gaijin and made the situation worse?? NEVER heard of cops firing warning shots on Japanese folks.

Health care costs would go down - win/win for everyone!

To be honest, some of them might prefer being in the factories than in the office. That is if they keep the pay they are on now! ;) A lot less office BS from my understanding. Seeing cars being made and whatnot... Kind of a Toyota worker's wet dream.

Bump it up to 1000 yen a pack to cover the extra health care these smokers use! I'm surprised the government is actually getting off their butts and doing something about it - go Hatoyama!!

Hep, sorry but they will. They're going to the factories in Jan and will resume their "real" jobs in April. As in the jobs they are doing now. Why are folks being so negative? This is a great thing - much like how they make new workers spend three months…

How many will quit?? Zero. Why on earth are you assuming these grads are spoiled? They've worked their butts off to get into such a good company.

Stuck?? Most of the j-chicks married to gaijin men seem to want the golden ticket out of Japan. When they realize that they won't get treated the way they think their white knight is shining armor is supposed to, they bail. The courts don't trust them because they pull this…
